Griesinger comments:
"When talking about any genre of music, it's always important to know where, when and how that form of music you're talking about originated so you get a better understanding of what you are discussing. With the genre of heavy metal, there is one name that goes hand in hand with the mention of this type of music. Some have nicknamed him the 'Father of Metal' and he just recently released his first autobiography, Iron Man: My Journey Through Heaven and Hell with Black Sabbath. The man of whom we speak of is none other than Mr. Tony Iommi.We recently sat down with Tony to talk about this book. We also talked about his recent deal with producer Mike Fleiss to write movie scores. We also talked about the impeding rumors of the Black Sabbath reunion. It should be noted the next day a press statement was released stating that there would be a major announcement at the Whiskey A-Go-Go in Los Angeles, California on 11/11/11 at 11:11am with the original members of Black Sabbath. We were unaware of this, as Tony kept a tight lip and didn't mention it during our interview."
As previously reported, Iommi was a guest on BBC 6 with Cerys Matthews on Sunday, October 23rd). The audio interview is available here
"Tony talks to Cerys about his book Iron Man, where he goes on the record about Black Sabbath and recounts his life story including his inspired but complex relationship with Sabbath's lead singer, OZZY OSBOURNE."Iommi was interviewed by Planet Rock radio about the possibilities of a reunion with singer Ozzy Osbourne, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward.
"At the moment we're in talks about it. But what's going to happen with it, I don't know. There's no definite decision on anything at the moment, but at least it's going. We're talking, we're all talking to each other. We've met up, had a play [rehearsal], and it was great."The complete audio interview is now online here.
